There are detailed thread discussions on how Verizon customers are unable to use GPS on their devices outside of VZNav. That is not a new "feature" of this release.
I used 2.0.1 all over the US and it normally would tag me close to the cell tower the phone was using. This is something different and not related to the Verizon internal GPS saga. Why would the program show me in Austin Texas when I was in Brenham? Bizaaaaaaaaare.


Always less than expected.
And now unimproved for 2008.
